The 5X-400 combines strength and speed for high productivity - 

With a heavy-duty 18,000-pound frame the 5X-400 can handle all your tough materials like stainless steel and titanium.  With a triple linear guideway system in the Y-axis, the table load capacity is 2,400 pounds and high-speed rapids are 1,181 inches/minute.  This unique combination of strength and speed allows flexibility in processing your work.  The speed makes the machine ideal for materials like aluminum and steel, and the strength allows efficient machining of Inconell and stainless. 

Massive Cast Iron Construction –

The 5X-400 casting design was internally reinforced with numerous strategically placed heavy cast ribs to resist flex and dampen vibration for superior machining capability, extended tool life and fine surface finishes.  The machine is constructed of all certified premium high tensile Meehanite castings.  The wide spacing of the linear ways offers the optimal guide ratio and rigidity for the moving elements further enhancing the rugged design of the machine. 

 

STANDARD GANESH 5X – 400 MACHINE FEATURES:

Machine Construction:

  • Fine grain and high density cast iron using the superior Meehanite process yields superior vibration dampening and improved surface finish and tool life
  • Double anchored and pre-tensioned ballscrews in all 3-axes
  • Built-in leveling ledge makes it easy to level machine low to the ground

Linear Guide Ways:

  • Triple linear guide ways in the Y-Axis for high table load capacity 
  • Linear Guide Ways on the Vertical Column and Longitudinal axis
  • Hardened and Ground Machine Table for enhanced wear resistance

 

Spindle:

  • 30-HP Spindle Motor for superior metal removal capability
  • Rigid tapping for high-speed precision tapping performance
  • CAT-40 taper spindle for the tool rigidity needed for tough materials
  • 6-bearing thermal symmetrical dynamically balanced spindle
  • 60 - 8,000-RPM Spindle with 0.00004” maximum spindle run out
  • 10,000 RPM and 12,000 RPM spindle options available

 Automatic Tool Changer - ATC:

  • 24-tool high-speed twin-arm tool changer optional and in value package
  • 2.5 second tool change with twin-arm, and 6-second tool change with carousel
  • Bi-directional shortest path tool indexing to decrease tool change time

Coolant and Chip Management:

  • Peripheral chip wash-down in chip enclosure to minimize machine maintenance
  • Spindle air blast controlled by M-code
  • Chips can be easily removed from the machine via a roller-mounted basket.
  • The optional chip conveyor can be installed on either side of the machine.
  • Hinged side-panel doors allow the operator easy access to the work area.
  • A separate Grundfos coolant pump is provided for chip wash-down
  • One-piece sliding coolant tank is mounted on rollers for easy cleaning access.
  • Tramp way oil recovery system is provided to reduce coolant contamination
